There’s no question that puppies pull at your heartstring, especially when they appear to be lost or abanded. That’s what happened when these two LAPD Police Officers, saw a tiny puppy roaming alone near a busy street. They didn’t think twice about it, grabbing the puppy and making him one of their own.

How amazing, this little puppy will melt your heart!

These LAPD partners rescue the cutest dog who becomes a police officer himself

Officers Mercado and Tavera, were on their regular patrol when they saw a puppy wandering around alone near Hobart Boulevard in, Los Angeles, California.

They named him ‘Hobart’ after the street they found him near, before taking him to the Ghetto Rescue Foundation. The police officers’ also checked if the puppy had been lost, but soon they learned he was indeed abandoned.

Even though they initially took him to the shelter, Officer Mercado couldn’t shake the connection he felt and decided to adopt him

After all, Hobart had been following Officer Mercado around as he had already chosen him to be his new father. So the kind-hearted cop went back to the Ghetto Rescue Shelter and made it official.

Once Mercado adopted Hobart, the LAPD fell in love with the little guy too. They even joked about him becoming a K-9 officer, even though he likely ended up as a comfort dog for the department. The LAPD posted to Twitter saying:
